COFACE SA anticipates a net profit above €50m for the first quarter

Paris, 15th April 2021 – 17:45

COFACE SA anticipates a net profit above €50m for the first quarter

The Board of Directors of COFACE SA met on April 15th 2021 and examined non audited preliminary financial information.

The good operating performance achieved by Coface since the beginning of the Covid crisis, combined with an economic environment with a still low level of bankruptcies, should translate into a net profit above €50m for the first quarter.

However, the number of bankruptcies should logically increase during the exit phase of the sanitary crisis and the withdrawal of support actions to the economy.
